This helmet is constructed to absorb impact by partially distributing the shock

or by damaging its essential components. Activities at height present a risk

oserious head injury. Wearing a helmet can signicantly reduce this risk, but

cannot entirely eliminate it. This helmet should be used exclusively or the

activities or which it is certied (see labeling). This helmet has been approved

for industrial head protection.

WARNING: This helmet cannot always protect the user rom injury. Specically,

one should keep in mind that no helmet can protect the head rom the shock

generated by violent impact. Following violent impact, even ino damage is

visible, the helmet should be replaced, in that its capacity to absorb urther

impact could be impaired.

WARNING: Certain chemical products, especially solvents, can damage your

helmet. Protect your helmet rom exposure to chemicals.

the physical properties othe helmet. Beore applying any othese products,

WARNING: Your helmet can be damaged rom improper care: do not sit on it,

pack it too tightly, drop it, allow it to contact sharp or pointed objects, etc. Do

not expose your helmet to high temperatures, or example by leaving it inside

INSTRUCTIONS: As a protective measure, this helmet must be worn at all times

during work activity. For adequate protection, it is important that the helmet be

sized correctly and t the head properly to oer optimum comort and saety.

The helmet should be adjusted to l the user; tor example, the straps should be

positioned so that they do not cover the ears, the buckle should be kept away

rom the jawbone, and the straps and buckle should both be adjusted so that

they are comort able and secure. Ater properly buckling and adjusting the

strap, always check that the helmet is not excessively tight; nor should it move

reely back and orth. Veriy that the helmet is well seated and centered on the

head (see Fig. 1). The better a helmet is adjusted (minimal movement ront to

back or side-to-side), the better protection it can provide.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: As a preventive measure it is essential to wear a

helmet at all times during work activity. For adequate protection, the helmet

must be the right size and t the head perectly so as to oer maximum comort

and saety. The helmet must be adjusted to t the wearer, or instance, the

straps should be positioned so as not to cover the ears, the buckle must be

located away rom the jawbone and the straps and buckle together must be

adjusted in such a way as to be both comortable and close tting. With the chin

strap astened and correctly adjusted, always check that the helmet does not

squeeze the head nor moves reely back and orth (see Fig. 1).

HELMET ADJUSTMENTS: Wear the helmet and adapt the size by turning the

rear wheel (clockwise to tighten the size and counter-clockwise to enlarge it) or

simply (only or models equipped) by drawing the two quick-closing elements

to obtain the desired tension (Fig. 2). Position the size adjustment system in the

nuchal area as shown (Fig. 3), tilting it and adjusting it in height. For versions

equipped with a chin strap, asten it by inserting one buckle strap into the other

until it clicks into place (Fig. 4a). Pull the chin strap to check that the buckle is

locked (Fig. 5). Adjust the length othe chin-strap to rmly secure the helmet on

your head. The rubber ring must be positioned on end othe tape to prevent

it dangling. Adjust the lateral retractor othe chin strap by sliding it along the

straps until you nd the desired position below the ear (Fig. 6). To remove the

helmet rom the head, open the chin-strap by simultaneously pressing the

buttons on each side othe buckle (Fig. 4b).
